Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 3 Mass Burial Mounds
"Brother! Why did you bring this little Taoist priest with you!"
On the mountain path, a girl from a well-born family muttered dissatisfiedly, puzzled by her senior brother's behavior.
Tonight, a few people came together, ostensibly for the purpose of slaying demons, but in fact they went for the opportunity after success. However, although the harvest was precious, the quantity was not large.
Now, bringing in a little Taoist priest with unknown origins and whose shabby financial status can be seen at a glance will not only bring no benefits, but will also waste another share of the opportunity that is not enough for five people.
To the young girl, her senior brother's behavior could no longer be said to be a waste of money. It was simply that he was determined to be the boy who gave away money and gave away the opportunity he was about to get.
Hearing this, Li Mufeng and the four of them looked at each other. At this time, they had a lot of words in their hearts that they wanted to express. However, facing this junior sister who was coming down the mountain for the first time and had a simple mind, there were some words that they absolutely could not say out loud.
We can't just say directly that we don't want to share the opportunity with him, but let this little Taoist priest take the risk in front of him when the time comes, right?
So in the midst of depression, several people looked at the back of the little Taoist priest in front of them, with a stern look deep in their eyes.
Li Mufeng, on the other hand, always maintained a gentle smile, and even in his eyes that could not be noticed by outsiders, there was nothing strange at all. He did not seem to be intimidating others at all, but seemed to really want to give him a chance.
Ji Yuan, who was forced to walk at the front, felt even more depressed than these people. His original intention was to take a shortcut and return to the temple as quickly as possible, but he never thought that he would encounter such an unexpected disaster.
It's just that it's useless to think about these things at this moment. What really needs to be considered is how to escape safely amid the defense of the four people.
Although he has embarked on the path of spiritual practice, once he takes action, he has never fought with a practitioner, and he really doesn't have much confidence in his heart.
After all, catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits are two completely different things than fighting with others, not to mention that the opponent not only has more people, but also comes from a well-known and decent family, so he definitely has no shortage of ways to defeat the enemy.
Moreover, even if he could catch him by surprise, I'm afraid he would be caught up by these guys before he could run very far.
Ji Yuan could feel that the four people except Li Mufeng were all in the early stage of enlightenment and could enter the middle stage at any time.
As for Li Mufeng, he is at least in the middle stage of enlightenment, and his energy is very close to the late stage.
With the five brothers and sisters joining forces like this, coupled with the teachings of a famous and upright sect, even a Qi practitioner in the late stage of enlightenment will have no choice but to retreat in embarrassment if there is no inheritance from a famous master.
"The little Taoist priest should have just started practicing practice not long ago."
As if he could tell that Ji Yuan was secretly thinking about how to escape from their hands, Li Mufeng blinked and then said: "The beginning of practice is the most difficult. There is no shortcut to enlightenment. In addition to reading the Taoist canon to warm the soul, there is no shortcut."
The method of breakthrough and advancement.”
On the road of spiritual practice, the first state of a Qi practitioner is called "enlightenment". It is necessary to constantly read a Taoist classic to warm up one's soul. Only when the accumulation is deep enough and the soul is strong enough, can one naturally break through to a small state.
.
Before reaching the second level of spiritual practice, a qi practitioner has no magic power at all. The only thing he can rely on is his body, which is stronger than ordinary people, and the essence contained in his body.
Even to defend himself against enemies, he was unable to cast spells or control magical weapons, and could only rely on swords and other sharp weapons, as well as the fists and kicks of martial arts warriors.
The meaning of Li Mufeng's words was to remind the young man to put away his thoughts and not do those useless things. One-on-five would definitely have no chance of winning.
Ji Yuan remained silent and did not give up his thoughts because of the other party's words. He couldn't just sit back and wait for death, right?
While thinking about it, the little Taoist priest suddenly felt a chill all around him. Although there was no wind blowing, he could feel the cold air coming towards his face and going into his body.
He subconsciously looked up and saw that where the fire was shining in front of him, strands of gray-white Yin Qi emerged from the ground, twisting continuously in the air like a smart little snake.
"arrive."
Li Mufeng said softly, and at the same time, he raised his hand and took out a yellow paper talisman, and slapped it on his chest.
The other four people did the same thing. When the talismans were placed on their chests, they immediately emitted a small amount of halo, blocking the surrounding Yin Qi from invading.
Ji Yuan pretended not to see it and raised his eyes to carefully examine the gray-white fog not far away. It was similar to what he had seen before. It was indeed made up of a large amount of Yin Qi. It could not be dispersed by the wind and could not be seen through by the naked eye.
If there are no special means, only after condensing the magic power can one open one's magic eyes to see through the mist of Yin Qi.
"Stop!"
Li Mufeng, who had just taken out a porcelain bottle and was about to pour out the elixir inside, suddenly let out a shout.
In the eyes of a pair of stunned eyes, Ji Yuan suddenly exerted force on his legs and rushed towards the Yin Qi mist not far away. The speed was so fast that it even brought up strong winds, blowing the Yin Qi all around to both sides.
Disperse.
And when that shout fell, the little Taoist priest, who had never been regarded as a threat by a few people, had already rushed into the mist of Yin Qi, and his figure could no longer be seen with the naked eye.
The smile on Li Mufeng's face suddenly disappeared, and instead revealed a gloomy look, with a bit of anger flashing in his eyes. He did not expect that the little Taoist priest he regarded as a pathfinder chess piece would be out of control like this.
On the other side, Ji Yuan, who rushed into the mist of Yin Qi, didn't care so much. He chose a direction and ran forward without using his eyes to identify the way ahead, lest he be confused.
In a good trap.
After lowering his head and running wildly for a moment, he broke out of the thick fog. Although it was still covered in gray-white fog, he could at least see the surrounding scenes clearly.
"It can't be so evil..."
Ji Yuan murmured, even though he often performed rituals to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, he couldn't help but feel his scalp numb at this moment.
In front of him was a mass grave with no end in sight. The earthen mounds everywhere were covered with weeds, some of which were even more than half a foot high. They were swaying on their own despite the fact that there was no wind around.
Channels of moonlight passed through the fog and fell on the mass graves, allowing people to clearly see the dead bones scattered on the earth in the pits.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
The little Taoist priest recited the honorary title and walked towards the mass grave.
It was obviously impossible to retreat at this time. Not to mention whether he would not get lost in the mist of Yin Qi. Even if he could return the same way, Li Mufeng and others were waiting for him with malicious intentions. It would be better to just go on and see.
What a scene it would be.
As Ji Yuan walked, he took out the yellow paper talisman from his sleeve and skillfully patted it on his chest. As the talisman bloomed with brilliance, the yin energy that was constantly entering his body was immediately isolated.
Then he took out a porcelain bottle from nowhere, poured a few round pills into his mouth, chewed them twice and swallowed them.
The talisman is the 'Yang Qi Exorcist Talisman', which can drive away Yin Qi and evil Qi. The elixir is the 'Yang Return Pill', which can restore part of the Yang Qi consumed in the body.
After doing this, the little Taoist priest looked at the crowded scene around him and felt that he had not done enough, so he put his hand into his sleeve robe and took out a large number of talismans. If there was any slight disturbance, he would use them all.
The posture of going out.
But when Ji Yuan was in the mass grave and had just walked away from the distance of seven or eight feet, the breath that he finally raised in his heart suddenly disappeared.
His neck was a little stiff and he turned to the left, his eyes fixed on a white skeleton wearing a torn red dress dancing in the moonlight. This chapter has been completed!
